Conan Exiles adds a new dungeon and fixes malfunctioning ostriches

There's also a boss to battle and new weapons and armor to discover in the sewers below the Unnamed City.

Below the Unnamed City—which frankly, if you're going to call it the Unnamed City you could probably just go ahead and give it a name, like Conandelphia or Exileville or Cincinnati—there lies a vast sewer system, and in those darkened tunnels lie new weapons, items, and a large, slimy, goo-spitting boss monster.

The latest update for Early Access survival sandbox Conan Exiles adds this new sewer dungeon, called The Dregs, suitable for mid-level characters. The sewer is filled with albino komodos, the undead, and a few puzzles to solve. Brave the depths and defeat the new boss, the Abysmal Remnant (see, even that has a name), and "great awards await" according to the post on the Exiles dev blog.

Those awards: new recipes and resources that will allow you to craft phosphorous torches (which will burn even under water), armor made from reptile hide, plus a new sword, dagger, and bolts and arrows. Check out the trailer below.

Naturally, the update also includes fixes for bugs and exploits, balance changes, and visual improvements. Also, ostriches "no longer go bonkers" when you hit them with a truncheon, according to the patch notes. I dunno, going bonkers when someone bashes you with a club feels like a perfectly natural reaction to me, so I'm not sure why that required a fix.

You can see the full patch notes below.
